Abstract: A rear derailleur (66) for a bicycle (10) includes a base member (400) for attaching the rear
derailleur (66) to the bicycle (10), a movable member (456) for supporting a chain guide
(456), and a linkage mechanism coupling the base member (400) to the movable member
(456) so that the movable member (456) is capable of movement relative to the base member
(400). An electrically operated actuating member (716) is operatively coupled to the
linkage mechanism, wherein moving the actuating member (716) in a first direction causes
the movable member (456) to move laterally toward a rear wheel (34) of the bicycle (10),
and moving the actuating member (716) in a second direction causes the movable member
(456) to move laterally away from the rear wheel (34) of the bicycle (10). A power storing
mechanism is disposed in a power transmission path between the actuating member (716)
and the movable member (456) for storing relative forces applied between the actuating
member (716) and the movable member (456).

Abstract: The invention features methods for separating cells from a sample (e.g., separating fetal red blood cells from maternal blood). The method begins with the introduction of a sample including cells into one or more microfluidic channels. In one embodiment, the device includes at least two processing steps. For example, a mixture of cells is introduced into a microfluidic channel that selectively allows the passage of a desired type of cell, and the population of cells enriched in the desired type is then introduced into a second microfluidic channel that allows the passage of the desired cell to produce a population of cells further enriched in the desired type. The selection of cells is based on a property of the cells in the mixture, for example, size, shape, deformability, surface characteristics (e.g., cell surface receptors or antigens and membrane permeability), or intracellular properties (e.g., expression of a particular enzyme).

Abstract: An autonomic management method and a corresponding system
are proposed. In the solution of the invention, an authority
(105) publishes rules (115), each one defining a desired
target configuration for a category of subjects; the rule can
include one or more formal parameters specifying a correlation
with another category. A shared repository (130) stores
membership information specifying the categories of the
subjects. Each subject (110) retrieves the rules corresponding
to its category. Any formal parameter included in the rules is
resolved, associating the category specified in the formal
parameter with the actual subject(s) belonging to that
category (according to the membership information retrieved
from the shared repository). The rules are then applied on the
subject. In this way, any correlation can be defined at a
logical level in the rules; the correlation is actually
established only at run-time, when the rules are applied on
the corresponding subjects.
